Visa Support

It is your sole responsibility to take care of visa requirements. If you require a VISA support letter to attend MWC Barcelona 2025, please request one via the registration system after you have completed your registration.
 

For more information please contact the closest Spanish embassy or consulate in your territory https://www.exteriores.gob.es/es/EmbajadasConsulados/Paginas/index.aspx

Please read the information here to understand whether you need a Visa to enter Spain.

If you do not require a visa, you should not apply for visa support as the GSMA will not issue supporting information for nationalities that do not require a visa.

GSMA can provide you with a supporting invitation letter which you can request through your registration account after your registration is fully completed and any outstanding payment is settled.

GSMA Ltd. is a US-based organization, and its GSMA Group affiliates are UK, EU and Switzerland based organizations. Accordingly, GSMA Ltd. must comply with all applicable US, UK, EU and Swiss trade sanctions. Those trade sanctions prohibit GSMA Ltd. from issuing a visa invitation letter to delegates from Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria, as is also the case for delegates from other countries or territories who have been designated as sanctioned persons by the US, UK, EU and/or Swiss authorities. 

Please note that regardless of your personal visa invitation, you will not be permitted to access GSMA Ltd. events if you (individually) or the company you represent is subject to US, UK, EU and/or Swiss trade sanctions. 

If you are unsure whether trade sanctions apply to you or your organization, please contact us at legalnotices@gsma.com 

To request your visa support letter, you should login back to your registration account, go to Apply for a Visa Letter and complete the Passport Information section.

Your visa support letter will be sent to your main email account as a PDF attachment only when you have completed your registration, settled any outstanding payment and had your ID validated.
